Abstract
A cable sealing device includes a cable seal arrangement positioned between first and second compression plates. The cable sealing device also includes an actuator for compressing the first and second compression plates together to deform the cable sealing arrangement such that the cable sealing arrangement is adapted to form a seal about a cable routed through the cable sealing device. The actuator includes a cam lever pivotally movable between an actuated position and a non-actuated position. The actuator also includes a spring for transferring load between the cam lever and the first and second compression plates. The spring is pre-loaded when the cam lever is in the non-actuated position with a pre-load equal to at least 50 percent of a total load applied through the spring when the cam lever is in the actuated position.
